And in addition to announcing awards such as Game of the Year &#8211; the nominees are Assassin's Creed III, Dishonored, Journey, Mass Effect 3, The Walking Dead: The Game &#8211; new trailers for already announced games such as The Last of Us will be shown, as will five debut trailers.

"For hard-core gamers this is the first place you will ever see those new games," says the show's executive producer Mark Burnett. "Imagine if the Academy Awards was on and they announced five movies that no one has ever heard of. That is the equivalent. You will be on a rip-roaring, two-hour ride of television."

Yep you guys can watch the show worldwide at vga.spike.com. Works on the web, on your phone, on your iPad etc. No geoblocking. The preshow gets underway at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET.

It's an incredible show and I'm very proud of the strides we are making this year. I hope you'll give things a fair shake. I know hating on the VGAs is a sport for most of the core audience, but we have some really amazing moments planned this year with some new games and some very special guests.

Good Q, there are a bunch of factors at play here. There are some surprises we aren't teasing at all this year for a variety of reasons. Next week we will drop some new footage on a few of the world premieres to give you a taste of what's to come on Friday night.

Geoff on Major Nelson podcastCan add Bioshock and Tomb Raider to the list. Gears will show off the main enemy that hasn't been seen before. South Park gameplay will be shown.

Talks about the Xbox live stream, which will be smartglass enabled. Sam Jackson will be able to talk directly to Xbox Live community, Xbox live voting will impact the show.(even more teabagging this year?)

Talks about some of the game footage from the big games coming out next spring, then says there will be games shown that are coming "far beyond summer of 2013"

Gonna be a video package where Sam Jackson is inserted into a bunch of different games. All the former hosts will be back to celebrate 10 year anniversary.(Jack Black, Zach Levi, Snoop, Neil Patrick Harris)

Will be available on demand for 48 hours on Xbox Live after show ends. Pre show will start 1 hour before.

And I wonder if they'll top The Last Of Us this year - that was a fantastic reveal last year. I mean the only thing that could come close for me is the Bungie game or a first glimpse at the project that Respawn is working on.

Really looking forward to seeing Castlevania, and I already know The Last of Us will be great so I doubt there will be any surprises for me from Naughty Dog. Can't say I care too much about Gears, I enjoy the series but I don't know, I'm finding myself not really caring about Judgement for some reason.

Hopefully some great new stuff, a tease of Next Gen would also be fantastic.

I get the feeling a Destiny tease will be present. These recent leaks seem a bit too well timed, and Bungie's starting to get the ARG machine rolling... Ending VGAs with Bungie would be a show-stopper to say the least.

Combining Geoff's comments with this, I'll say that anything that's next-gen (or heavily focused toward next-gen) isn't getting teased at all, while the current gen games will get teased, and that there are less teasers for them since the last current gen games are all coming out pretty soon.

I also expect that Game Informer might have an article on Bungie's game, given that it comes out the night before the VGAs if they're sticking with first Thursday of this month.

I think the most interesting aspect about the reveals is that it implies very few studios aren't (at minimum) going cross generation, since otherwise this would be a great chance to show your current gen game for Fall 2013/Spring 2014 while it can still look good visually.

Yeah. This is my first time observing a generational leap as an adult and with any knowledge of the industry and the technology, and it's interesting to watch this time-wall of mid-2013 where few to no games officially exist beyond it.

Don't we already pretty much know that at least Battlefield 4, the next AC and MGS: Ground Zeroes will be cross gen? I would also bet that yearly franchises like CoD (2 was a launch 360 after all) and NFS will also be available on both generations.

I thought it was supposed to be about giving out awards and honoring achievements in video games? It is exciting that it seems to be less of a marketing vehicle this year, even if that is only by accident.
